About the Author

Jon Forrest has been working with students at Bethel Free Will Baptist Church in Ashland City, Tennessee for about 25 years. He spent six years earning his four year degree from Welch College, proving he should have "applied himself" like his parents instructed him. His passions include collecting Nerf guns (he estimates well over 400 guns in his collection) and lobbying for Chick-fil-A to get Honey Roasted BBQ Sauce out of the little pillow packs and into the larger foil covered plastic containers where it belongs. Because he is crazy about students, he loves encouraging fellow youth workers, which he will do until he dies probably at the tender age of 107 at his expansive estate. His wife Carrie and daughter Ellie lovingly put up with him.

Great opener and advice at the beginning but not a lot of content in the body. Most of the games are rather odd and I felt like I could have found most of them online.

I have not read the book yet, but the cover looks like it has coffee stains on it, and the spine is scratched. Not a big deal, and the inside looks good, but not what I was expecting.
